    • Careers

Darryl graciously joins the show. We had an incredible conversation! It’s a bit longer than the other episodes, but 100% worth the watch and/or listen. We cover a lot in this episode:


Where he’s originally from in Houston
How he ended up becoming a petroleum engineer
Him being a Little and part of Big Brothers Big Sisters as a kid. Now he’s a Big for BBBS. Listen in to hear why he believes this organization makes the greatest impact
George Floyd, and other lives lost at the hands of law enforcement
Privilege
Being intentional with who we support. If we want to support our communities, and specific businesses, like black businesses (artists, chefs, film makers, etc.), we must do it intentionally. Do a little research about the businesses around you!
Places to eat in Houston to support black owned restaurants
